“Every Pokemon is someone’s favourite” I’m making a spreadsheet to see if this is true. Reblog with your favourite Pokemon in the tags.

Here’s the spreadsheet in-progress

[grootficguy]

Ok, mother of GOD that's a lot of responses and I am but one man with Excel. I'll update these ASAP but also some rules:

A Pokemon only counts for itself, not its evolution line.

A Pokemon with multiple forms (like Zygarde) will only be counted for the specified form. A Pokemon with multiple appearances (like Spinda, Vivillon, Sylvally, etc.) count for all their appearances.

I'm literally doing this as a testament to my own depression that not everyone is lovable, so add that to the weight of this post's meaning.

Character Corner: Magi is now public!

It's kind of a character corner, I guess, since these aren't actual characters in The Alliance Saga. I'm just playing with designs, lol.

And the art by itself!

Cinderella Boy Pokemon Teams

Usually I only do things like this for my own characters, but I feel like I know the Cinderella Boy cast well enough to make teams for them too.

Chase Chatot - "Blues" - His starter; he inherited it from his dad. He rarely uses it in battle because its level is too high for him to give commands to but it helps him build his confidence and train his other Pokemon. Audino - "Rhythm" - A gift from Myra when he set out on his journey. Again, rarely uses it in battle, mainly there for morale. Exploud - "Alistair" - Whismur was the first Pokemon he caught and raised himself, and he's very proud of it. Despite the fact that it is not "cute" he dotes on it and had a dozen cutesy nicknames for it, since he is slightly embarrassed that the only name he could come up with at registration was his idol. Wigglytuff - "Jem" - The second Pokemon he caught and raised himself. It was a Jigglypuff for a long, long time before Nox told him that he had to use a Moonstone to evolve it. Minior - "Star" - He thought it was a rock and picked it up to throw at Nox, initiating a Pokemon battle accidentally. It stuck around after that because it likes Chase. Diancie - "Silver" - Technically, he shouldn't have Silver on his team, since he didn't catch this Pokemon and just kind of found it, but he does anyway. Like Star the Minior, Silver just took a liking to Chase and joined his team.

Nox Salazzle - "Violet" - His starter; for a long time it was just the two of them, and he was convinced he didn't need any other Pokemon on his team. His rivalry with Chase encouraged him to catch more Pokemon. Noivern - "Dracifer" - He didn't intend to catch Noibat, but following a misadventure with Chase in a spooky cave, he ended up with another team member that eventually grew on him. Thievul - "Dodger" - One of the first Pokemon other than Violet that he actually bonded with. At first it just followed him around begging for scraps, but in time he grew to care for it and eventually caught it. Lunatone - "Moon" - Being a more serious trainer than Chase, Nox realized the need to balance his team a little with something more defense-focused. It's not because he finds its shape a fun counterpoint to Star the Minior. He doesn't make decisions based on his dumb rival. Shut up. Hatterene - "Morgan le Fay" - Once Nox decided to actually start catching other Pokemon, this one just...appealed to him. For reasons. Shut up. Gothitelle - "Evil Queen" - Caught a Gothita purely based on vibes.

Deacon Rapidash - "Boris" - His starter, with whom he has a love-hate relationship...being that Deacon loves it, and Boris hates him. At least, ever since it evolved. Maybe Deacon just needs some more badges. Appleton - "Bronze" - Why is Bronze even here? Deacon is sure he put its Pokeball in the PC Box, yet it keeps showing up in his team. It's decent in battle, when it actually listens to Deacon, anyway. Chansey - "Tuition" - Deacon's parents insisted he bring the family Chansey with him. For some reason, he can't get it to evolve into a Blissey! The tongue-in-cheek nickname he gave it may not be helping... Dhelmise - "Captain" - The first Pokemon that Deacon would say he actually chose for himself, so it has a very special place in his heart and on his team. Primarina - "Elizabodice" - Some people think Primarina is a "girly" Pokemon. Deacon would heartily argue against that, and even if it is, why would that make it any less valuable? Huh? Frequently uses Elizabodice alongside Captain. Bisharp - "Prince" - Deacon has always thought that Bisharp was really cool, and had hoped to have it as his starter, if not Primarina. He was finally able to catch and evolve a Pawniard recently and he's really proud of himself for it.
